Pokémon isn't controversial, you're not going to get flooded by hate comments for posting pokémon. And I don't post on every content on front page with a picture of pokémon that has nothing to do with the content.
This guy here is doing just that, with a topic that IS generally not liked and could generate a lot of hate. So I was just asking why.

But that goes beyond a simple picture, you went on to start talking about the show when the content had nothing to do with ponies.
You don't have to post ponies specifically, y'know. Especially since it seems deliberate for the result of some sort of reaction.

Just replying to your conversation as a whole. I understand your process of thought but maybe this one time your just overthinking it a bit. I think he is just bored so he is posting his favorite show everywhere.
